Roundup: Rare Pair Exchange 2023

rarepairexchange is an exchange event for ships (pairs and moresomes) with fewer than 250 works on AO3. This is the first year this particular event has run, although there are a number of other events devoted to less popular fandoms and ships.

221 signups, 266 works in 191 fandoms!

I received a mixed-media work about Hephaestus, Aphrodite, and Ares, which delightfully subverts the infidelity story usually associated with them. As far as I can tell, it's the first work on AO3 that is written specifically about their relationship. Did I mention I really like rare fandom and ship events?
